I know this is old news, but I just read it...can you IMAGINE?? Losing 8 loved ones all at once...I know it isn't the worst tragedy that's happened in this world, but still. These parents must feel all alone right now . . .

very sad....The poor mother/family....

to tell them that God works in mysterious ways would be like a punch to the face.... how do you console someone who went through that?

the picture of the mother shatters my heart

I have no idea how you would console her. I think even a professional grief counselor would have trouble with that one...

That picture got me, too...

The only consolation she can have is, that she cared and looked after them....

What gets to me, is the funeral.....HOW can she cope with so many burials etc. @ once? That's when it will sink in.....in church seeing so many coffins...

so sad....no-one should have to suffer that!

I hope her local community gathers round and helps her out as much as possible! She shouldn't be alone......
